In article <3926@aipna.ed.ac.uk> cam@aipna.ed.ac.uk (Chris Malcolm) writes: Not unimportant for teaching use it that it is very easy to convince the authorities that this robot is too slow and weak to be capable of damaging a student. Even if the student dropped it on his foot it probably wouldn't do any damage. This is an important consideration when Universities are held responsible for the health and safety of their students, and some students are quite capable of injuring themselves with such simple equipment as pencils. They ought to try working next to a visually-reactive Puma 761 running at top speed :-). -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Brian Yamauchi University of Rochester yamauchi@cs.rochester.edu Department of Computer Science _______________________________________________________________________________
